You are a rather introspective person, attentive to the special inner qualities that enable you to perceive the very essence of people you meet, the situations you encounter, and the objects you see. You have the ability to understand through your intuition, based upon an openness to the other. This faculty is related to a duality: a budding extroversion and the predominance of the object over the subject (yourself) in your consciousness.

As a corollary to your opening to society, you are closely related to your environment. The society in which you move contributes in large part to the formation of your character and attitude.
